A Day for smashing PBs πŸ’₯

I haven't ran since Tuesday's 10K, I felt I needed a little rest I had ran 41K the week before.. concentrated on my strength trainingπŸ‹οΈ

So today I was itching to get out, beautiful sunny but cool morning to start..

Felt really strong compared to Tuesdays tough 10K .. and all the way round I had spurts of fast (for me ) running πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸ’¨

In fact one of my K's was just under 6 mins which is a PB for me πŸ˜€

I managed to shave 1min56 Seconds off my 10K PB ...πŸ’₯

I knew I needed those couple of rest days..it payed off for me.. really enjoyed that πŸ™Œ

Happy Running all πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™‚οΈπŸŒŸ

Have a great bank holiday 🎊

Well done to you sparky66 on that 10K PB time of 1:12:43, I had two PB's this week, both 5Ks, a not parkrun time of 31,52 and for my 19th Official Parkrun this morning, a PB time of 30.20, so both of us have had a very good week of running.

Thanks, I have just noticed that so far this week that I am the ONLY person who has ran at Dunfermline (NOT) parkrun, still another day for someone to 'accompany' me.

Yay you smashed it Soarky! That’s brilliant. The rest obviously did you the world of good 😊. Nothing better than a really great run and a bank holiday weekend combined! That purple watch of yours had been having quite the time of it recently - get you! 😊😊😊

Oooh that’s always a heart stopping moment, getting them out of the machine! I’m sure they’ll be fine, if not you may need to treat yourself πŸ› on your hols. Fingers crossed πŸ€žπŸ˜ŠπŸƒβ€β™€οΈ.
